A knowledge-base article: titled (Name), categorized help content with a publish lifecycle (status: Draft, Published, Archived) and a visibility of Internal (agent-only) or Public (portal/customer). Agents browse and attach articles to cases and can email one to the case contact via the EmailArticle action; keyword-based suggestion uses the keywords field. Usage counters (viewCount, helpfulCount, notHelpfulCount, deflectionCount) feed deflection metrics - deflectionCount is the number of cases marked as resolved by the article.
